| Muslim World League Seeks Apology |
| 2002-12-27 |
| The Muslim World League yesterday condemned a media campaign in the United States against Islam, particularly against the Prophet Muhammad, and expressed the strong displeasure of the entire Muslim community at such vilification and insinuations. League Secretary-General Abdullah Al-Turki was reacting to the publication of a caricature by Doug Marlette in the Tallahassee Democrat, showing an Arab driving a lorry resembling the truck used by the Oklahoma bomber Thomas McVeigh in his attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Building. The cartoon showed the truck carrying a nuclear warhead under the title: "What would Mohammed drive?" Pretty witty, huh? Commenting on the extremely objectionable cartoon, Turki said: "Some enemies of Islam have been trying to tarnish the image of Muhammad just as they publish misleading information about and wrong interpretation of the Holy Quran." Some practitioners of Islam have declared war on us, using their religion as justification. They are supported in this endeavor by many in the Muslim world, and in particular by Soddy money, some of it originating with the World Muslim League. Turki demanded that the Tallahassee Democrat apologize to the 1.5 billion Muslims and give an undertaking that it will not publish such disparaging material again. Rantburg demands that the World Muslim League apologize to the citizens of the Free World for the unprovoked attack by Muslims on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon, for assassinations, church bombings, desecrations, military operations against civilians, torture and mutilation, murder, rape, kidnapping, lies, deceit and thievery committed in the name of Islam. Rantburg also demands the perpetrators of those acts be brought to justice. Once that's been done, we'll talk. Until then — piss off. |

| #6 FYI. Muslims are required to believe that: Solomon's Temple never resided on Temple Mount; Abraham was the first Muslim, and a member of the "hanaf" tribe, but that the Jewish tribe under Shaytanic (Satanic) influence, distorted the original covenant with "Ishmael" (not Isaac); Mohammed ascended to Heaven from "al-Quds" (Temple Mount)during a "Night Journey," after his conversion drive to Taif failed to attract any new prostrators. Of course, none of the above beliefs explains why: Caliph Uthman burned all of the original "recitations (Koran of the Arab tribal god entity)" because they contained "satanic verse;" Mohammed sent emissaries to the Jewish village of Yethrib, to announce his conversion to Judaism as one of the line of "prophets" but when he was rejected, he ceased the prostrations to Jerusalem, claimed to be the "last prophet," prohibited references to Jerusalem in the Koran, exterminated male members of one Jewish tribe - Banu Quraizay - and renamed Yethrib, as Medina (city of submissives). |

| #4 One cartoon is a "media campaign?" Someone said it first: Arabs are the drama queens of the world. |

| #1 1.5 billion??? Good grief, just a few months ago it was 1.2 billion. Do these critters multiply that fast? And as for "extremely objectional" cartoons, what about the ones featured in arabnews.com? Oh, those are caricatures of Jews. Nevermind... |
